Clinical significance of increased arterial stiffness associated with atrial fibrillation, according to Framingham risk score

Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the elderly. Arterial stiffness may predict the risk of AF, but this relationship has not been fully evaluated. We assessed the association between arterial stiffness and prevalent AF. All subjects who had electrocardiography perform...
